Confirmed from Indian Trails Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring picnic tables and playgrounds with slides, a volleyball court, swings and soccer fields.
What runners say about Indian Trails Park
“They really do a good job keeping the wooden structure looking nice and the park is clean and well taken care of.”
“Such a sweet little park for all ages”
I'm a single female from out of state just looking to get some steps and vitamin D. Great public park that offers paved scenic trails, non paved nature trails, Pickle Ball courts, sand volleyball courts, soccer field, and a big playground for the kids.
Great playground to visit with kids of just about any age! Baby swings, a section for younger kids with smaller activities, and plenty of room for groups. There are also trails, picnic tables, and a pavilion/music area behind the parking lot either large rocks to sit or climb on.
Loved the children’s playground area! There is a separate area for younger kids and a very large one for older kids. Lots of benches around each play area for parents to sit and watch, and a covered gazebo area in the center.
Great park with lots of space and a variety of equipment for young and older kids. Also good walking/running/biking path. Lots of parking and plenty of picnic tables. There is a full bathroom with running water during summer months, but just a nearby port-a-pot in winter.
